Computer problems, updates pending

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Hey guys, you may have noticed only one update last week. This is because I am having some pretty terrible computer problems. There was a heat wave here and now my computer seems to only want to turn on for about 5 minutes at a time and then shut itself down. I’m seeking help, unit then the updates will be sparse.

Sorry to disapoint! I have a whole bunch of comics to post but no way to get them online. If things get really bad I will borrow a computer and get things done that way.

I’m also trying to get a book together collecting all of Chester, so this also puts a bit of a damper on that as well.  Stay tuned!

I need your vote!

Hey everybody!

I need your help! I’ve got a t-shirt design up for voting on Threadless and if I win my design gets printed and I get paid!

If you read my comics regularly and appreciate the free entertainment, come return the favor by voting for my design:

The perfect chair fort  - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

Sorry, I know it’s not pornography!

Thanks!

Chester Shirt?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Here’s a shirt I am thinking of printing up for Chester, based on a few suggestions I have received. What do you think? Would you be interested in purchasing such a thing?
I’m thinking there are enough people who like tea in the world that this just might also be appealing to people who don’t read the comic.
I am probably going to do a foxy print on demand thing through MySoti right now and then buy some of my own for cons.

Shirt news!

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Hey guys, the Chester Tea Party shirt is now available in my MySoti shop!

Mysoti shirts are available in Alstyle, Bella baby doll, and American Apparel. I don’t want to sound like an add but I usually won’t buy ladies shirts unless it’s offered in American Apparel sizes, so I am happy about that!

The print quality itself is great, Mysoti does digital printing and I’ve been really satisfied with their work, I think you will be too!

What else…Oh, updates may be slow for a while, I am working on a sexy Halloween story that I’ll be trying a little something different with. Stay tuned!!

A Halloween tale…

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Hey guys!
No updates this week I am afraid, because I have been working on a special little sexy Halloween story for you! It’s my favorite Holiday, so I thought why not do a little something dirty to celebrate?

I did this story for the incredible SlipShine.net :

I can’t recommend SlipShine enough, there are a ton of great artists on there making very sexy comics.
The story itself is free to all those with Slipshine accounts and will be available in November.

However I will also be trying something new with this story, I’m putting it up for sale as a downloadable pdf file!
Chester will always be a free web comic, but I think every once and a while I may do a short story and offer it through pay pal. We’ll see how it goes!

It is a sexy, spooky, definitely NSFW 10 page story in black and white, it’s only $1.00 and you can buy it right here:


Some samples: here is the 1st page:


and here are some dirty sample panels for those of you who don’t mind little spoilers:

Once you complete the PayPal purchase I will email you the PDF file, enjoy!

Tastefully done Calendar for 2009!!!

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

This is just a tiny sample from the Chester 5000 illustration I made for The Tastefully done calendar to benefit Cancer research!

Donate to a worthy cause and get a calendar with all your favorite webcomic stars in the buff!

You can buy it here:

Ok, Ok I KNOW you have already seen my characters MORE than nude, but really, isn’t NOT revealing something even more sexy?

This calendar is totally awesome and I would gladly associate my months with any of the semi nude cartoon characters therein.

Chester 5000 book, coming August 2010!

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

SO, people have been asking me for a long time if there will be a Chester comic to purchase soon. I wanted to wait until things were more final before announcing this but now I am pleased to say…

Top Shelf comics will be publishing Chester 5000 in 2010!!!
AND Top Shelf will also be publishing my time travel memoir, We Can Fix It!!!

Sample: http://jessfink.com/junk/TTC_1.jpg

I’m so excited I can hardly contain my own bodily functions.

I’m ridiculously happy because Top Shelf has always been my favorite publisher. In high school I read whatever semi indie thing I could find at the comic shop, but when I got to comics college my Professor Tom Hart’s first book assignment to us was Craig Thompson’s Goodbye Chunky Rice (published by Top Shelf). It was a book that blew my mind completely away, it changed forever the way I looked at comics and how I wanted to make comics and it remains the closest a book can get to my heart.

I suppose it’s kind of silly to dream of being published in the age of web comics, but it’s something I have wanted since I first picked up a comic and somehow I couldn’t let that dream die. I’m so happy it’s going to have a home among some of my favorite authors and artists.

It’s been a really rough couple of years for me where nothing seemed to go right so this influx of good news all of a sudden has sort of held me in shock.

I’ve had a hard time talking about this with people because it’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to me and I don’t know how to express that without feeling like I am bragging! Maybe I’m just so used to complaining!

Anyway, if you want to check it out the books are listed in Top Shelf’s 2010 publishing schedule for August! EXCITE BIKE!!!
